In this episode, Michael Roscoe, PhD, PA-C, President of the PA Education Association, is joined by April Stouder, EdD, MHS, PA-C, of Duke University and Shalon Buchs, EdD, MHS, PA-C, of Florida State University to explore how post-pandemic shifts are reshaping PA education. They discuss the growing need for student support, as many learners face increased anxiety, gaps in social-emotional development, and more complex health and learning challenges. These shifts have placed additional demands on faculty, who are navigating increased responsibilities related to remediation, advising, leaves of absence, and the broader emotional aspects of student support. The guests share strategies for maintaining rigor while creating space for growth, including protected time, stronger faculty support, and using data alongside lived experiences to advocate for institutional change.

Recent research suggests that nearly three million schoolchildren in the UK have experienced hygiene poverty in the past year. This means everyday essentials such as shampoo, toothpaste and laundry detergent have become unaffordable for their families.The consequences are significant: hygiene poverty can affect confidence and the ability to learn, and in some cases lead to children avoiding school altogether. And while the wider causes of hygiene poverty require systemic solutions, we're increasingly seeing school staff stepping in to support students and their families. In this episode, Sam Wass, director of the Institute for the Science of Early Years at the University of East London, and Gemma Humphreys, senior campaigns manager at smol, join NAHT assistant general secretary James Bowen to explore how schools can recognise and respond to this issue. They discuss what to say (and what not to say), handling peer comments, protecting a child's dignity, and how to have sensitive conversations with compassion and confidence. The new smol hygiene poverty resource for school staff is available at smol.com/teacherresource.

Biblical Counseling Africa: Equipping the Church for Gospel-Centered Care in South Africa and BeyondRecorded on the road at the Biblical Counseling Coalition Global Summit, this Speak the Truth podcast episode features interviews with Kyle Johnston and Jane Kratz from Cape Town, South Africa, about their ministry contexts and the growth of Biblical Counseling Africa. Jane shares how her husband's death in 2012 led her to pursue a theologically rich approach to grief and loss, moving from prior psychology studies to biblical counseling training through ABC's Equipped to Counsel material and later studying at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, with additional church experience in Texas before returning to South Africa. Kyle, an ordained minister at Gracefield Church in Fish Hoek, explains how pastoral ministry exposed a gap between confident pulpit preaching and applying Scripture in complex, conversational counseling situations; this led him to training through Wayne Mack's curriculum in South Africa and a master's degree at The Master's University in Los Angeles (2012), while continuing to prioritize pastoral care and counseling in church life.They discuss why they remain committed to serving in Africa despite opportunities elsewhere, noting both the significant needs in Cape Town and South Africa and the mission field created by migration from other African nations. They describe cultural observations, including hospitality and the value of contextual ministry shaped by South Africa's historical experience, including navigating multicultural ministry after apartheid.Kyle outlines how Biblical Counseling Africa began in part to make CCEF training more accessible and affordable in their context and to expand beyond South Africa through online courses. The organization's aim is to equip local churches across Africa to provide wise, loving, gospel-centered pastoral care that restores Christ to counseling. They describe a three-level approach: (1) grassroots seminars, talks, and workshops (including using ABC conference resources with local case studies and courses such as Jane's nine-week grief care course); (2) training such as ABC's Equipped to Counsel offered during COVID and in-person; and (3) advanced CCEF courses, with growing enrollment. Future focus includes helping pastors develop a church-wide culture of care, vulnerability, and mutual ministry beyond sermon-centered expectations.They explain that Biblical Counseling Africa is a nonprofit and invite listeners to support the work through prayer, financial giving, and volunteering. They emphasize the need for resources to sustain operations, relieve volunteer load, and provide scholarships for students from poorer African contexts. They express gratitude for support from American partners including CCEF, ABC, BCC, and others, noting that courses are offered at about a quarter of the normal cost, and direct listeners to biblicalcounsellingafrica.com for more information and contact.00:00 Welcome to Speak the Truth (Podcast Intro)01:09 Meet Jane: From Grief & Loss to Biblical Counseling02:30 Texas Culture Shock & Accent Stories03:39 Meet Kyle: Pastoral Ministry Path into Counseling06:12 Why Stay & Serve in Africa?

In this episode, we're joined by Christina Hay, an experienced student support advocate, mentor, and community leader, who brings over a decade of experience in education and youth outreach. Christina shares compelling insights into the challenges and opportunities of working with students both in schools and in community-based settings.When it comes to supporting students, Christina Hay believes the work can't end when the final bell rings. At the heart of this conversation is the understanding that students need consistent, meaningful support both inside and outside the classroom. “A lot happens when kids leave the school,” Christina says, “and they still need that support. They still need safe spaces. They still need their village, because we are their village.”Throughout the episode, Christina encourages educators to embrace collaboration with families and community organizations to fill in the gaps that schools alone can't cover. She emphasizes the importance of proactive—not reactive—student support and leaves our listeners with a clear message: When educators, families, and communities work together, students are better equipped to succeed.

Everyone talks about diagnosis and treatment. Very few talk about the years after. In part two of our conversation with oncology yoga guide Jill Krause, we explore the hidden world of survivorship and the long term side effects that continue long after treatment ends.Jill begins by breaking down the complexities of yoga for cancer. Different cancers, surgeries, treatments and symptoms require nuanced understanding, compassion and a willingness to meet each student as an individual.Jill also shares her philosophy of advocacy, intimacy and embodiment: how knowing your body, speaking up and finding community become essential parts of healing. She leaves us with a powerful reminder that every person carries a universe within them, and that leading with compassion is the most meaningful work any of us can do.About JillJill Krause, a certified 500-RYT, founder and owner of YOUniversal LOVE, an oncology yoga and coaching company was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 38 and was actively treated for 2.5 years. YOUniversalLOVE was created to fill a void she felt after being discharged from active treatment with no guidance, resources or answers to any of her questions regarding survivorship.  Even though she was discharged with early onset menopause, osteoporosis, pain, decreased range of motion from 8 surgeries, and 25lbs of steroid weight, she was given no recommendations or referrals for any healing therapies.  As time passed, she kept being confronted with the realization that her needs were not being met and her side effects were going to be long term.  She desperately wanted to be an active participant in her healing but was scared of doing it alone with no guidance.  She realized that the current survivorship care lacked the understanding that chemotherapy, ovarian suppression, estrogen blockers, and surgeries have on the health and well-being of those affected by cancer.  YOUniversalLOVE grew as her purpose shifted from beating cancer to learning how to manage and heal her long-term side effects so she could empower others to become active participants in their healing in order for them to reconnect, reclaim, and redefine their lives.  ⁠jill@youniversallove.com⁠⁠www.youniversallove.com⁠About Alba Yoga Academy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Learn more with Alba Yoga Academy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Learn more about our Yoga Teacher Training here.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch our extensive library of YouTube videos.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Hannah on Instagram.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Celest on Instagram ⁠⁠⁠

In this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael talks with Dr. Cheri Maea, Dean of Early College and High School Partnerships, and Guy Curtis, Director of Marketing at Laurel Ridge Community College, to discuss the transformative power of early college and dual enrollment programs. As the spring semester approaches, the conversation shines a spotlight on how Laurel Ridge is making higher education more accessible, affordable, and achievable for students across the region. Early College: A Head Start for High Schoolers Dr. Maea brings a wealth of experience to her role, having spent over two decades in higher education. She passionately advocates for engaging students early, emphasizing that post-secondary education is not a one-size-fits-all journey. Through partnerships with local high schools, Laurel Ridge places career coaches in every school, ensuring that students—regardless of background—can explore pathways to enrollment, enlistment, or immediate employment. These coaches demystify the process, helping students and parents navigate options that may have seemed out of reach. Breaking Down Barriers One of the most significant developments discussed is the offering of the first 30 credit hours of a student's transfer degree at no cost. This initiative allows students to earn college credits while still in high school, removing financial barriers that often deter families. Dr. Maea and Guy Curtis both stress that the hardest part of college should not be the application process, and Laurel Ridge is committed to streamlining admissions and support. Seamless Transitions and Lasting Benefits The benefits of dual enrollment extend far beyond cost savings. Students gain confidence, explore potential career paths, and build a strong academic foundation before stepping onto a four-year campus. The college's guaranteed transfer agreements with major universities in Virginia further smooth the transition, while specialized programs like the Future Educators Academy and Trades Academy prepare students for in-demand careers. Homeschoolers, too, find a welcoming environment and tailored support through initiatives like the (in development) Home Scholars Academy. Supporting Students and Families Throughout the conversation, the guests highlight the importance of parental involvement and education. Many parents are unaware of the opportunities now available, and the college works diligently to correct misconceptions and provide resources. Dr. Maea encourages families to reach out directly for guidance, underscoring the college's commitment to personalized support. A Vision for the Future As the conversation concludes, it's clear that Laurel Ridge Community College is more than an educational institution—it's a launchpad for lifelong success. By removing barriers, fostering partnerships, and empowering students to take charge of their futures, Laurel Ridge is redefining what's possible for the next generation. For more information about early college programs, dual enrollment, and upcoming orientations, visit Laurel Ridge's website: https://laurelridge.edu/early-college/ or connect with your local high school career coach. The journey to higher education—and a brighter future—starts here.
